when you download something 9 times out of 10 its something someone else wants, hence the higher seeds and also the reason why you pick them because they download faster.
So after the file has downloaded leave it, it will carry on seeding and thats what puts up your ratio's

I've heard one of the best ways to get your ratio up is to invest in a seedbox...

Alot of sites say to leave them seeding for 72 hours or back to a ratio of 1.1 what ever comes first

If u want to know what people want - stick to something really popular like something in the charts. I guess that your machine might not be allowing uploads for one reason or another.
